bloody streuth, 300k winds expected, never heard of that before, and the deliberately-ignorant Libs are denying climate change.

Malcolm Knox: What has happened this week is a pity for the Tigers, a pity for Jason Taylor and a pity for Robbie Farah, who had achieved more than the Big Four put together but was somehow turned into collateral damage. (SMH 25-26 March, 2017)

just heard Lady Gaga for the first, shocking and irritating voice - don't know what they see in her.

Hopefully the North Koreans don't bomb Concord before Ivan has got us playing finals football.

Maybe it has nothing to do with Japan but sometimes I wonder if they want revenge against Japan for their long and brutal occupation of Korea.

I don't think it's just Japan they hate. I think they hate 95% of the world.
They are similar to Manly.

Maybe I'm being a little harsh on Manly there.

I don't think the ordinary people there hate they don't have a say, it is a dictatorship. Many want to escape which is why China will not bring the regime down - she does not want millions of refugees across the border as already cops a lot.

Decades ago Manly had a lot of working class folk - don't know if still true or not. I just remembered I saved a plumpish girl in the surf there - was a hard slog.

The Off Season
A time of the year we all hate , No Footy
But I think this year and into early next year we will get a fair bit from the club , it will be exciting times ahead for Ivan and the new look team , our club will be or should plaster the Web site with info and photos of all the new players , interviews , updates , we will have plenty to read I think and it will be all positive , if Ivan gets our guys excited about his plans and they all get on board with it we can give this comp,a shake next season , I'm not saying we win the comp but we will be very competative , Ivan has made very smart purchases of playing stock , competition for spots will be hot , we will be fitter , Stronger than our start this year , we looked burnt out or just unfit .
We have heard all the crap before about this year we will improve and so on , But this coming season will be different , Ivan Is Different to all the other coaches of late , I'm expecting a very new look team with a completely different Attitude , I think he will Harden us up and be a defensive hard hitting team with a Attack that comes from grinding the opposition into the ground then running over the top of them .
Top 8 with out doubt for me

What I am not sure about is that a lot of the newies are shorties or lean build??? Look at poor Jacob.

In today's SMH James Graham offered to refuse a salary increase so that Reynolds could be retained for the team.

The little girl mentioned in above post, Angelica Hale, earned First Runner Up in America's Got Talent. Can't believe was defeated by a puppeteer who always become boring after 5 minutes.
